NCRI –\u00a0India\u2019s Center for Social Research (CSR) issued a statement supporting the Iranian people’s campaign for seeking justice for the victims and families of 30,000 political prisoners who were massacred in the summer of 1988 in Iran.<\/p>\n
In parts of the statement, Dr. Ranjana Kumari, director of CSR, described the 1988 massacre as the worst crime against humanity since World War II and urged the UN and other international organizations to launch an inquiry into the massacre and bring those responsible to justice.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kumari wrote: \u201cThe cries of victims and their families were never heard and in fact were kept in silence. I support the efforts to hold those responsible for this indescribable crime accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Many of the victims were 15 or 16 years of age at the time of arrest and prosecution and horrendously even pregnant women were executed. They were all buried in unknown mass graves.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Iranian Resistance has called for international prosecution and trail of the masterminds and perpetrators of the 1988 massacre and this crime against humanity, but they are still holding high government positions in Iran. Therefore, I urge Amnesty International and other International Human Rights Organizations to renew their call for the trial of those responsible for the 1988 massacre.\u201d<\/p>\n
“In memory of all those fallen for freedom, all the 30,000 martyrs who were executed in the summer of 1988, I support Mrs. Maryam Rajavi\u2019s call for an investigation into the massacre and ask the United Nations and the UN Secretary General to hold an inquiry on the massacre and I hope that the perpetrators will finally be brought to justice.<\/p>\n
“Anywhere women are victims of violence and injustice, the Center for Social Research stands with them, and today the Center commemorates the memory all the steadfast women who were executed during the 1988 massacre.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
